6 firewalld_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the firewalld
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the firewalld processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The firewalld processes execute with the firewalld_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep firewalld_t
20
21
22
24 The firewalld_t SELinux type can be entered via the firewalld_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the firewalld_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/firewalld
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 firewalld policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fire‐
40 walld processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for firewalld:
43
44 firewalld_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a firewalld_t can be used to make the
47 process type firewalld_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. fire‐
54 walld policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run firewalld with the tightest access
56 possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type firewalld_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

128 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
129 type.
130
131 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
132
133 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
134 SELinux firewalld policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
135 firewalld processes in as secure a method as possible.
136
137 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
138
139
140 firewalld policy stores data with multiple different file context types
141 under the /var/run/firewalld directory. If you would like to store the
142 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
143 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
144 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
145
146 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/firewalld /srv/firewalld
147 restorecon -R -v /srv/firewalld
148
149 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
150
151 SELinux defines the file context types for the firewalld, if you wanted
152 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
153 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
154 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
155
156 semanage fcontext -a -t firewalld_unit_file_t '/srv/myfirewalld_con‐
157 tent(/.*)?'
158 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfirewalld_content
159
160 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
161 match multiple files.
162
163 The following file types are defined for firewalld:
164
165
166
167 firewalld_etc_rw_t
168
169 - Set files with the firewalld_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
170 files as firewalld etc read/write content.
171
172
173
174 firewalld_exec_t
175
176 - Set files with the firewalld_exec_t type, if you want to transition
177 an executable to the firewalld_t domain.
178
179
180
181 firewalld_initrc_exec_t
182
183 - Set files with the firewalld_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
184 sition an executable to the firewalld_initrc_t domain.
185
186
187
188 firewalld_tmp_t
189
190 - Set files with the firewalld_tmp_t type, if you want to store fire‐
191 walld temporary files in the /tmp directories.
192
193
194
195 firewalld_tmpfs_t
196
197 - Set files with the firewalld_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store fire‐
198 walld files on a tmpfs file system.
199
200
201
202 firewalld_unit_file_t
203
204 - Set files with the firewalld_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
205 the files as firewalld unit content.
206
207
208
209 firewalld_var_log_t
210
211 - Set files with the firewalld_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
212 data as firewalld var log data, usually stored under the /var/log
213 directory.
214
215
216
217 firewalld_var_run_t
218
219 - Set files with the firewalld_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
220 firewalld files under the /run or /var/run directory.
221
222
223 Paths:
224 /var/run/firewalld(/.*)?, /var/run/firewalld.pid
225
226
227 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
228 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
229 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
230 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
231
232
234 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
235 mappings.
236
237 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
238 process type is permissive.
239
240 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
241 icy modules.
242
243 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
244
245
246 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
247 icy settings.
